Spotted in June

 A quick 'spotted locally' post for mid June.

The three sculptures above are part of the Staffy trail across Staffordshire this summer.  Left to right - 'Outdoors, Muddy Paws' at the Goods Yard, Stoke.  'Sonney' in Hanley Park and 'Artie' in the churchyard at Stoke Minster.   


There are others in Lichfield, Stafford, Tamworth and Uttoxeter.  


Inflatable purple ducks have appeared at Trentham gardens. I have no idea why.  As the event tents are all purple I expect it is to do with that.


Lots of lovely flowers in the garden to make up a table posy.  Pinks, Sweet peas, Oxeye daisies, Hardy Geranium and Pink Valerian.


A tailless squirrel at Westport Lake.  There are one or two like this here and have been for a year or so.They seem perfectly healthy so I think they must have been born tail free.



A Macaque monkey enjoying an apple at the Monkey Forest, Trentham Estate.


It was easy to spot this years new-borns in their family groups.
